RETURN OF BUILDING WILL BE SLOW.
Those who anticipated a building boom this season are
doomed to disappointment. There will be some building, but no
one can build now unless he is compelled to do so. If you doubt
this, try having a chicken house built, or a porch constructed, of
an etectPic heater wired into your house. You will collapse
Mid join the great throng who know they cannot build under
present prices.
And, besiriuo, buildings have to bt financed. No one scarcely
has the ready nvmey to pay for a iipw home, and just at present
thee is o money to finance new buildings. People are in debt.
They owe the lag figure brought about when money was cheap
an these figures have to be paid in d'r money, therefore
human cmwgy will be directed for some time to come in paying
detos hIh- tkmo baiMing nc structures.

Tfkase is finite question running in the mindi of thett

It is a fiuwtk that many believed had been solved nd
the decisioH was in favor of the roads as a djvidend payer.
Some have chaufrod their minds. Highways must be kept

A Tale of Hard Times.-
Ttvo gay young frogs, from inland
bogs,
Had spent the night in drinking;
As morning broke and they awoke,
While yet their eyes were blinking,
A farmer's pail came to' the swule
And caught them quick as winking.

'Erc they could

Or breathe
fensea,
The granger grave that guileless
man
Had dumped them in the milkman's
can.
The can filled up, the cover down,
They soon are started off to town.
i
The luckless frogs began to qunke,
And sobered up on cold milk shake.
Thcyi quickly find their breath will
stop
Unless they swim upon the top.
They swim for life and kick and swim,
Until their weary eyes grow dim. j
Their muscles ache, their breath
grows short,
And gasping, speaks one weary
sport
Say, dear old boy, it's pretty tough
To die so young, but I've enough
Of kicks for fife, no more I'll try it,
I was not raised on a milk diet'
Tut, tut, my lad," the other cries,
"A frog's not dead until he dies.
Lei's keep on kicking, that's my plan,
We yet may see outside this can.
'No use, no use,'' faint heart replied,
Turned up his toes and gently died.
Tile brtve frog, undaunted still,
Kept kicking with -a right good, will.
Until, with joy too great to utter,
He found he'd churned a lump of
butter,
And climbing on that chunk of grease,
lie floated round with greatest case.
M O R A L
When times are hard don't fret and
frown,
Don't get discouraged and go down,
But struggle still no murmur utter
A few more kicks may bring the
butter.

Beneath a mossing mound,
In the cold and soggy ground,
is sleeping poor, old Tolllver, McGce;
He wet his thirsty throttle
Krom a likely-looking bottle.
But ho found It wasn't what It seem-
od to be.
Summer in bore nnd it is now time
for the sweet young thing to pick
her bathing suit out of the mo:h
halls and hie herself to the beach.
